That is an interesting idea. Sadly, we know of too few Partoni (I
think I just invented the plural form of Patronus...it's easier than
Patronuses) to be able to know for sure. If only we had had a chance
to see Sirius's. Though, I highly doubt his Patronus would have been a
great big dog. Why? Well, Harry's Patronus has to do with his father,
and since a Patronus has to do with protection, something associated
with his parents who died trying to protect him, it makes sense.

It would seem a little odd if someone's symbol of protection was
themself. Although, in some cases, perhaps it is possible. I guess I
could see Sirius as thinking he was the only one needed to protect
himself. But I don't think that would be the case for every Animagi.
Can you picture Peter Pettigrew having his rat form as his Patronus?
Or Rita Skeeter's a beetle? Or McGonagall's a cat?

This brings me to another question, though. Do you think Patroni are
always animals? Or can they be something else?
